How my buying has changed…
Wednesday, July 1, 2009 | Reader News
I can’t say I changed a whole lot as the economy faultered. I was never one to spend spend spend anyway (yes, I’m a woman)……and was brought up to appreciate what you have and not worry about labels, colors, being ‘cool’, or fitting in. Did I have bullies? Yes. Did they change me forever? NO. I had a great mother who taught me to keep my chin up and remember that there are few people in this world whose opinion matter – and chances are, none of them are outside your home (or perhaps it’s only yourself).
I still love a great book – give me a printed one!! I can’t handle reading online or holding little readers in my hand. I don’t need to be in with the crowd – it’s all about the reading for me. I love laying back in the tub, sitting on the beach, or just hanging out on the patio…….and having the glare of the sun on a screen – not fun. Dropping it in the tub or getting sand in it – not fun. Having a paperback……….AWESOME!
Tell us more about the inner slu… nun, Liane!! I’m dying to know. Tell me about your books, your inspirations – whatever you’re willing to share!
I am so with you here, Bonnie! I walk into a bookstore and the first thing I do is close my eyes and smell. E-books don’t smell. Paper and ink, that is a smell I wish they would bottle! Someone sent this to me the other day, “The people who matter, don’t mind and the people who mind don’t matter.” That I carry in my heart! I have always hated labels whether it is on clothing or people.
